Our volunteer programs in Jaipur have become one of the most transformative experiences for anyone who wants to travel with purpose.

What is volunteering in Jaipur?
Volunteering in Jaipur means taking part in social, educational, or community projects in this city in the state of Rajasthan, India. Volunteers work directly with local communities — especially with vulnerable children — helping to improve their access to education, their personal development, and their future opportunities.
If you’re not yet familiar with CiENViDAS, we invite you to learn about our foundation and the impact we’ve been making in India since our very beginning.

Flagship program: Teaching in the Slum – CiENViDAS School
In regions like Rajasthan, access to education is still shaped by poverty, gender, and the caste system. According to UNICEF, society in the state remains marked by patriarchal norms and caste-based social structures that hold back equal opportunity. That’s exactly why volunteer work matters so much.
You’ll work as a teaching assistant or teacher in our accredited school, which is free for more than 100 children living without resources in a Jaipur slum. No prior experience is needed: you’ll receive materials, a daily lesson plan, and ongoing support. You can learn more about volunteering in India here.
